Pea and Ham Soup Recipe

This Pea and Ham Soup is one of the best winter warmers you can get! It is one of my favourite dishes from when I was younger and no doubt one that most people remember their grandparents making.

It’s an extremely simple recipe, but because of how the soup is reduced, it’s packed full of flavour. It’s fantastic served with slightly warmed crusty bread and a sprinkling of black pepper. Where your looking for something to feed the family while enjoying fireworks this bonfire night, or want a hearty bowl of goodness to warm up with against the cold weather, this is the recipe to try.

This Pea and Ham soup recipe uses our Pease Pudding Recipe as a base, but if you don’t have the time to make any, you can always buy some. We recommend checking out Pete’s Pudding if you’re looking for some that’s not only delicious, but also locally produced.

It’s not often I’ll hang my hat entirely on a recipe, but trust me when I say, this one is worth putting the time in to.
